A Chinese consortium bidding to buy Liverpool wants to make it the biggest club in the world.

Chicago-based Marc Ganis, a partner in Sportscorp China Ltd with potential new Kop owner Kenny Huang, which is behind the bid, delivered an exclusive address to Reds fans through Mirror Sport.

Ganis explained Huang’s group is ready to make a firm bid with sellers Barcap in the next few days, and that no other interested parties have tabled offers.

He said his group wanted to wipe out the club’s £237million debt and invest in getting the new stadium built, as well as buying new players.

Ganis also said the plan is based on their company’s unique position to take advantage of the emerging Far East market in world football, giving the Reds a massive commercial edge in global sport.

It would allow Liverpool to be commercially sustainable, without the millions of a sugar-daddy, such as Manchester City or Chelsea – a key factor when new FIFA rules on debt are introduced in the next two years.

“The key question is, what would we get from an investment in Liverpool? The answer is long-term growth, while we position the club with the biggest in global football,” he said.

“Major investment could lead to impressive returns, but only if it is properly capitalised, which means not having too much debt and having sufficient equity to allow growth.

“In order for a very visible sports club to operate properly, it needs to be properly funded from the start - which didn’t happen under the current ownership.

“We are planning to remove all current debt, and to invest some equity in the build of the new stadium and in making the team competitive.

“China is seen as the holy grail of commercial activity for sports clubs, and we already have the infrastructure in place with other businesses to exploit that. With the chance to make billions of fans uniquely tied to Liverpool Football Club, it would make them one of the biggest clubs in the world.”
